“Lovely & clean place to stay, with top quality furnishings.”

Had everything we needed, plus more, including lots of information about places to visit which we found really useful! Clear instructions were available and great communication with the host. Would definitely stay again if in the area.

“We had a lovely week at Topcliff.”

The cottage is immaculately presented and the beds very comfortable. Lots of places to eat within walking distance and Shaldon is a pretty little village.

“The cottage was well maintained and clean.”

The owner did not scimp on furniture, crockery etc as it was all very good quality with high tech equipment. Everything worked well and it was lovely to have hot water all the time. I will certainly recommend it and hopefully return.

“Beautiful cottage well situated in Shaldon.”

Very nicely decorated with very modern equipment, only item missing was a BBQ. We would recommend for a week. It is very tight on space but this is to be expected with a period property.

“Topcliff Cottage is a lovely place to stay.”

It is stylish and well maintained with a small but cleverly designed kitchen and a small private courtyard to relax in when you want to chill out. However, the parking space is pretty tricky unless you have a very small car and on street parking is not really an option. We both enjoyed the week we stayed there.

“Great little cottage in a beautiful village.”

Supposed to sleep 4 but would have felt very cramped as rooms are small and cottagey. Perfect for 2. Everything we needed for a week away ( apart from toilet roll , only given 3/4 of a roll!) Fabulous shower comfy beds, sofas very low and not that comfortable. Lovely courtyard garden which was a suntrap. House perfectly situated opposite slipway to water, great for launching sup/ kayak. We loved shaldon, definitely the nicest bit of Torbay.

- Carly, May 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. Many of our guests feel that the character of the property is enhanced by the 'cottagey' feel as described in the listing. Topcliff Cottage is a two bedroom property with the addition of the very popular 'kids den' room and as such is fully equipped for four people. We have taken a great deal of time and care to provide for our guests' needs, as we explained at the time, the toilet roll was an oversight for which we apologised. We have not received any complaints about the sofas previously, but as we're sure you are aware, comfort is an individual preference. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed other aspects of Topcliff Cottage and hope you enjoyed your holiday. Property Owner

“We had a wonderful week at top cliff cottage.”

It had all the mod cons, Uber comfortable bed loved the night light on the landings. Very tastefully decorated, and the window in the double room is beautiful with a glimpse of the sea. Didn't want to leave, felt like home from home!

“Topcliffe Cottage is equipped to an above average standard.”

It is extremely comfortable with great beds and sofas as well as a great shower and plenty of hot water and heating. I would not hesitate to recommend this cottage as a perfect place to stay. It is also very well situated being close by to pubs, shops, restaurants and the beach. Shaldon is a very pretty place having the benefit of both river and coast.

“Just had an excellent week's holiday at Topcliff Cottage.”

The Location is perfect for taking advantage of Shaldon village; its gentle seaside atmosphere, the great swimming beach, shops, cafe and wildlife zoo. The cottage itself is decorated and fitted out to a very high spec, we especially appreciated the technology available along with the fantastic WiFi speed and reliability. Many thanks.
